@lemmy.worldIt's irresponsible because making it sound like it's true AI when it's not is going to make it difficult to pull the plug when things go wrong and you'll have the debate of whether it's sentient or not and if it's humane to kill it like a pet or a criminal. It's more akin to using rainbow tables to help crack passwords and claiming your software is super powerful when in reality it's nothing without the tables. (Very very rudimentary example that's not supposed to be taken at face value).
It's dangerous because talking about AI like it's a reasoning/thinking thing is just not true, and we're already seeing the big AI overlords try to justify how they created it with copyrighted material, which means the arguments over copyrighted material are being made and we'll soon see those companies claim that it's no different than a child looking up something on Google. It's irresponsible because it screws over creative people and copyright holders that genuinely made a product or piece of art or book or something in their own free time and now it's been ripped away to be used to create something else that will eventually push those copyright holders out.
The AI market is moving faster than the world is capable of keeping up with it, and that is a dangerous precedent to set for the future of this market. And for the record I don't think we're dealing with early generations of skynet or anything like that, we're dealing with tools that have the capability to create economical collapse on a scale we've never seen, and if we don't lay the ground rules now, then we will be in trouble.
Edit: A great example of this is https://v0.dev/chat it has the potential to put front end developers out of work and jobless. It's simple now but give it time and it has the potential to create a frontend that rivals the best UX designs if the prompt is right.
OpenAI doesn't want you to know that though, they want their work to show progress so they get more investor money. It's pretty fucking disgusting and dangerous to call this tech any form of artificial intelligence. The homogeneous naming conventions to make this tech sound human is also dangerous and irresponsible.
Does it improve the bandwidth so higher quality codecs can be used without having to switch between good quality sound and shitty mics to shitty sound and good mics? I mean seriously, we're in 2024 and we still can't have quality parity with a wired headset when using Bluetooth because the bandwidth sucks so much ass that better codecs just can't be used. Bluetooth can die in a fucking fire.
Is you need one with a track pad get a dualsense, otherwise 8bitdo all the way. Best third party controllers I've ever used.
My theory has always been they wanted to keep the door open for Microsoft if things just go under. When you think about it, they were struggling quite a bit in the early 2000's until gears. Microsoft really propped them up with that franchise, then they made fortnite, lost a lot of money until they pivoted to the BR mode and now they make millions every damn day.
With the recent crowdstrike nonsense and Microsoft reviewing their kernel access policies, it may be a non-issue in the future, but we just have to see what happens. I do wish valve would start really pushing these companies with kernel anticheat solutions to support proton and steam deck. It's like they pushed for the first 6 months of the steam deck's life and then gave up. They are really on the cusp of something truly disruptive in the pc gaming space with the steam deck, getting those last few games like cod, fortnite and valorant would really push that momentum away from Windows. Maybe they simply don't want to pick a fight with the 1000lbs gorilla that is Microsoft, only gaben knows.
Yep, every competing product, whether it's the rog ally or legion go had to compromise on something and it's usually battery life, which defeats the purpose of having a handheld. I can get close to 4 hours in some games, you can't say the same for the competition putting 1080p VRR panels with high nit values and more powerful GPUs when the SoC itself hasn't reduced in power consumption. I just don't see any compelling reason why valve would make an incremental product like a steam deck pro.
That's odd, I installed the Gemini app on my 6a like a week ago. Unless you're specifically talking about grapheneOS.
So are they going to reassess the capability of kernel level drivers like crowdstrike and anticheat solutions like vanguard? Because of they keep this capability open then they're just asking for another fuck up.

It's called HLX, and it's apparently a traditional non-vr game. Robin Walker was leading the Alyx team, it's a safe bet he's leading this team or working with this team on the sequel.
